Hello all,
Three questions to amuse you at the tail-end of a week.
a) What horror stories do you have of test-houses/labs taking your hard-earned money and giving you non-compliant test certificates?
b) What did you do when you found that the test cert' wasn't up to scratch?
c) Any thoughts as to how the humble end-user can easily and cheaply validate the test cert given by a test-lab?
More info?:
a) I'm slowly mastering C177 and have found some shockers out there - no mention of uncertainty, whole swathes of required data missing, etc. As for c), it's beyond ASTM or ISO's scope to police standard implementation, but would a free checklist of 'must-have' points be something that could solve the grossest errors?
Disclaimer: I sit on an ASTM committee, and am looking to 'level-up' the standards and their implementation, at least for C177.
